A fix STORM-120 would be greatly appreciated. It's making it impossible to
increase tasks/executors > 1 when there is a downstream shuffle grouping.

I'm not sure why there haven't been more reports of problems with it. Two
possibilities I can think of are that we are using exclusively shell
components--perhaps there's a root-cause bug in those component classes--and
that we are dealing with a high volume stream of large tuples. (thousands /
sec, KB in size)
